Film / Tammy and the T-Rex

Edit Locked

Tammy and the T-Rex — an evil scientist implants the brain of Michael, a murdered high school student, in an animatronic Tyrannosaurus. He escapes, wreaks vengeance on his high school tormentors and is reunited with his sweetheart Tammy. Together, the couple try to elude the mad scientist and the police and find a more appropriate vessel for Michael's brain.

This 1994 sci-fi/comedy film is notable for its early appearances of Denise Richards and Paul Walker as the main characters. Terry Kiser, better known as Bernie, appears as Dr. Wachenstein.

Brain in a Jar: Michael after being removed from the animatronic T-Rex.

Crazy Jealous Guy: Billy, Tammy's ex-boyfriend who beats up Michael for hanging out with her, barges into her house when he suspects Michael is sneaking into there, and leaves him at the animal park to be mauled by lions.

Makes Just as Much Sense in Context: There's no explanation as to why Dr. Wachenstein even has an animatronic T-Rex in the first place and there's no good reason given for putting a human brain in it when it can clearly think and move on its own.
